This inspection rating relates to a predecessor school. When a school converts to an academy, is taken over or closes and reopens as a new school a formal link is created between the new school and the old school, by the Department for Education. Where the new school has not yet been inspected, we show the inspection history of the predecessor school, as we believe it still has significance.

Key Findings
This is a good school. All groups of pupils achieve well and their attainment is average overall in English and mathematics by the time they leave in Year 6. It is not outstanding because the teachers do not always ensure pupils are actively learning throughout their lessons and pupils do not always explain their knowledge and thinking clearly enough.
Parents and carers are very positive about the care and quality of education their children receive and strongly recommend the school. The quality of teaching is good and improving throughout the school. Pupils' basic skills are particularly well taught through highly imaginative and sharply focused daily activities.
Very occasionally, the relati...ve weaknesses in the quality of teaching limit pupils making the very best progress. Teaching is sometimes outstanding. As a result, all groups of pupils, including disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs and those who speak English as an additional language, make good and increasingly better progress throughout the school.
The behaviour and safety of pupils are good. Their behaviour in the classroom is sometimes exemplary and contributes well to the progress they make. There are very few instances of bullying and pupils are well informed about how to manage their own behaviour and to keep safe.
Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good and enhanced through many opportunities for pupils to take responsibility and get involved in school and community life. The executive headteacher drives the school vigorously towards clearly expressed high aspirations. He is well supported by an effective senior leadership team and governing body.
The professional development and performance management of all staff are given a high priority and contribute well to the improving quality of teaching. The curriculum is outstanding providing pupils with many memorable learning experiences in art, history, music and many other subjects. The school is well placed to continue to improve.

Over a third of pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds, which is above average. A small proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above average.
The school meets the current floor standard. The school has achieved several awards including Healthy Schools status, an Enterprise award and a Leading Aspect award.
